No doubt, the error message is self explanatory. But the actual files themselves in the directory allow Read and Write operations so they are not protected against any Read/Write operations.I have asked for the read-only permission="r" which in theory it should grant.

But what about the permissions of the directory, and of the directory which contains it, etc.? Though I just realized looking at your original post that you're running Windows, which means I have no idea, so I'll shut up now :-) Good luck, -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ hassan.schroeder(a)gmail.com twitter: @hassan |
